Summary

1. "This book bridges the gap between the theoretical work of the rheologist and the practical needs of engineers designing and operating the systems in which these materials are handled or processed. Coverage of topics is extensive and the book examines non-Newtonian flow from fundamentals to applications, including the flow of single phase and multiphase mixtures in pipes and in packed and fluidised bed systems, heat and mass transfer in boundary layers and in simple duct flows, and mixing." "The new material contained in the second edition addresses the significant advances in the area since the publication of the first edition, including developments based on CFD and computational techniques, velocity profiles in pipes, liquid/solid flows and applications to food processing, and new results on heat/mass transfer methods and models." "Non-Newtonian Flow and Applied Rheology is an established and important reference for senior level mechanical engineers, food, chemical and process engineers, as well as any engineer or scientist who needs to study or work with these fluids, including pharmaceutical engineers, mineral processing engineers, medical researchers, water and civil engineers."--Jacket.
